After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 316 You Steal Mine, I Steal Yours

"You are the most popular one these days. I was worried that you wouldn't promote it well enough. But now everything is ready, even the east wind has come." Zuoshandiao put aside the matter of One Punch Man and started talking about your name.

"It's just a coincidence, but like what you said, Master San, the popularity of variety shows alone can't withstand the impact of Let the Bullets Fly and If You Are the One 2."

"I take that back. The ratings for Running Man are ridiculous. People who don't know would think it was five or six years ago. You are quite popular now. You are so popular that it burns people. Haha!"

"..."

"Keep working hard. I am optimistic that you will win the championship this year. This era needs a new generation to carry the banner." Zuoshandiao said solemnly.

Li Mingyang nodded heavily, but didn't take it seriously.

He felt that Zuoshandiao should have told this sentence to everyone...just in a different way.

To be honest, I have known Zuoshandiao for a long time.

Li Mingyang thought he was very radical! He had a fierce determination to achieve his goal and not give up!
And he is also very cunning, an old fox among old foxes.

Li Mingyang could guess what he was thinking, but he didn't know what he would do...

It can be said that Jiang Wen and Feng Kuazi were both supported by him.

I count myself too.

To put it bluntly, this Nian Guan is a civil war in the eyes of Zuoshandiao.

Most people in the circle, even Jiang Wen himself, felt that Zuoshandiao cared about him more.

However, in his previous life, Jiang Wen lost to Feng Pants.

In front of all the media, Huayi openly announced that Earthquake took first place among domestically produced films in mainland China.

Faced with media questions, Wang Dajun did not refute or respond and hurriedly ended the press conference.

Afterwards, Jiang Wen said that Yinghuang did not comment on the matter.

Earthquake thus became the annual champion. In fact, the box office of the two films was very close. In most lists, Let the Bullets Fly was ranked first and Earthquake was ranked second.

After seeing off Zuoshandiao, Wang Changtian and Li Mingyang stood in the yard, watching the heavy snow falling from the sky.

After a long while, Wang Changtian said, "I can see that you don't want to fight anymore."

“Actually, I still want to fight.”

"The most wrong decision Huayi made was to do everything they could to discredit you. Now that you have successfully whitewashed yourself by relying on the resumption of Running Man and the support of Blue Channel and Mango TV, you have started to have concerns."

Wang Changtian shook his head. "You can't have your cake and eat it too. Fame and fortune are double-edged swords. Once people start to worry, they will hesitate. Those old hands are not ordinary people. Once you hesitate, you lose."

"That may not be the case." Li Mingyang said.

“Let me put it this way, Huayi and Yinghuang are ready to join forces. If your name has box office potential, they will kick you out immediately.”

"They are just two film and television companies. They really put themselves in the shadows."

"Don't underestimate the distribution companies. The best domestic film sources are in the hands of the top distribution companies. China Film Group will not care. If the cinemas want to make money, they must listen to the distribution companies. Whether it is ticket subsidies or publicity, the cinemas don't pay a penny. They just sit back and count the money."

"..."

"Don't pin your hopes on Wanda. The ticket subsidies have affected Wanda's cake. Lao Wang is just trying to coax Jing Tian into giving you such a high screening schedule. Once your name exceeds 100 million, Lao Wang will have an explanation and will immediately resume normal screening schedules."

"There are still six days of free time."

"The Laughing Rivers and Lakes is expected to break 7 million today, and The Orphan of Zhao has been out for two days and is expected to break million today. These two movies are not pushovers, so how could you have six days of free time?"

"Zhao Dashan and Shanghai Film Group seem to have overlooked IMAX's ability to boost box office sales..."

Wang Changtian frowned slightly: "That can't be done just like that. There are about 17 IMAX theaters in the country, scattered all over the country. Without advance organization, how can so many audiences come?"

“Why does it have to be someone?”

Wang Changtian was stunned.

"One or two in the morning, two or three, three or four, in the dead of night..."

Wang Changtian understood immediately.

"I said, why aren't you in a hurry..."

……

Ghost Theater, the game behind the box office.

The box office of many domestic movies is boosted by ghost theaters.

The so-called "ghost screenings" of movies refer to the discussion between the distributor and the cinema to schedule screenings at midnight, and the distributor will book the entire midnight screening, thereby affecting the box office and creating the illusion of popularity and high attendance.

This is completely beneficial to cinemas, and there is even cash back.

There is no policy yet, and even if there is, it would be meaningless.

Ghost theaters are a powerful tool for boosting box office revenue, and they can also be used to steal box office revenue.

The first domestic movie to be exposed as having a ghost show was the famous Lost in Hong Kong.

The biggest producer of Lost in Hong Kong is Guangguang, and the distributors are Maoyan and Guangguang.

Wang Changtian has become the new king of domestic entertainment because of his various operations, which are really amazing and courageous.

The domestic film industry is a small market with a big fire pit. In order to attract capital, ticket subsidies have been introduced. Even if ghost theaters are found, they can only accept it.

After all, you have to pay to go to the ghost field.

It’s real money that is paid out.

Much better than the fan lock...

Movies that use ghost theaters usually aim to break records. They are used at the beginning to boost the first-day box office and influence the subsequent screenings.

Then we will stop for a while and predict the box office based on big data. If there is hope of breaking a certain number of billions but it is just one step short, we will contact the cinemas to start selling them.

If a movie has the potential to break box office records, it will be watched more frequently.

For example, Hong Kong囧...

The domestic film market is booming in the future. Movies that break the billion-yuan box office are common, and the annual champion starts at 3 billion yuan, which is not easy to achieve...

In fact, in Li Mingyang's opinion, this year is the best year to play... If you can play the ghost field...

If he can brush it, it won’t be too late for him to leave!

I can't brush it, so forget it...

It's really no match for Let the Bullets Fly and If You Are the One 2...

This year is the peak year for Feng Pants!
It is also Jiang Wen’s peak, and Jiang Wen’s peak is even more terrifying.

Feng Kuazi has lost all his dignity. The movie was released on the same day as Jiang Wen, which shows how shameless he is.

Let the Bullets Fly, this movie that breaks the rules, is so exciting!

……

On December 12, Zhao Gu and Da Xiao were in full swing in the cinema, and then they were both caught up in the suspicion of stealing box office revenue.

Both sides held their own opinions. Brother Kaizi made a rare appearance and openly questioned and laughed at the box office stealing.

On that day, Brother Kaizi spoke in front of a crowd of media, holding the microphone in one hand and waving his hands with the other, speaking passionately and quoting from classics, like a poet.

The entire media audience applauded.

Ever since The Promise fell apart and became a joke, Kaizi has rarely argued with others about his own movies.

Afraid of being slapped in the face...

Even Mei Lanfang, who was placed high hopes by him to prove himself, was not that hard-working, as Kaizi Ge was.

It’s really because Zhao Gu’s box office is so good!
The first day box office was 4100 million! It exceeded million in three days!

It is his fastest movie to break the 100 million mark in history.

He saw hope that he could finally prove his box office appeal.

He wants to dispel doubts, he can make money for investors, and his movies can make money!
The Laughing Jianghu was released the day before Zhao Gu, but Brother Kaizi actually didn’t take it seriously at first.

It was not until Zhao Gu’s first-day box office exceeded 50 million that he realized that if he hadn’t laughed and competed with him on the same week, Zhao Gu’s box office would have been even higher!
Then the box office theft incident happened again.

A video has been circulating online. In this video, the audience clearly bought tickets for Zhao Gu, but the cinema gave them tickets for Da Xiao.

As one of the three major directors in mainland China, Kaizi Ge is well aware that this situation is not uncommon, and it is also an "unspoken rule" that has existed in the industry for many years. Through this method of "mistaking tickets", the box office revenue can be diverted to films that need attention.

After all these years, this was the first time he encountered someone who dared to steal his box office revenue, and he immediately got angry.

He took the initiative to ask Mr. Ren to hold a press conference to criticize the shameless villain.

Brother Kaizi criticized "Laughing in the World", saying that stealing box office was extremely shameless.

Bernard Yudong was interviewed by the media and responded: "The thief is crying thief, we are the victims!"

Yu Dong then showed the evidence to the reporter, who took some photos and posted them online quickly.

Shanghai Film Group has evidence, and Bernardo also has evidence, and both sides show evidence to each other.

Suddenly I realized that you steal from me and I steal from you, you are in me and I am in you.

Both sides have maximized their geographical advantages.

No one is willing to give up!

Zhao Guhe laughed so hard that his face turned red and his neck became thick.

On the other hand, the competition between Let the Bullets Fly and If You Are the One 2 has also entered a white-hot stage.

Huayi and Yinghuang are fully engaged in publicity and promotion, fighting for screenings, posters, media, and internet trolls. Both sides try their best as long as it is beneficial to the box office.

Feng Kuzi and Jiang Wen exchanged sharp words and mocked each other on Penguin Weibo and Sina Weibo.

He also liked the other party’s old scandals.

For example, Jiang Wen is a gigolo and used his girlfriend's money to make a movie.

For example, Feng Kuazi nodded and bowed to Wang Shuo, bending so much that his end could not be seen.
